The Commerce Department said the September shortfall in the trade balance represented a huge 21.4 percent drop from a revised August deficit of $10.1 billion, which was the widest gap so far this year. The narrowing imbalance resulted from a 3.9 percent decline in imports to $39.1 billion and a 1.9 percent increase in exports to $31.1 billion. The deficit is the difference between the two.

Imports had jumped a revised 5 percent to a record $40.7 billion in August, while exports increased a revised 0.3 percent to $30.6 billion. Allen Sinai, chief economist for the Boston Co., had said the drop in imports in the September report would be the consequence of a slowing economy due to the Federal Reserve's tight rein on credit as it strives to contain inflation.

The business day began with a report from the Commerce Department that the nation's trade deficit contracted to $7.94 billion in Sep- tember from value of the dollar, which makes U.S. products abroad more expensive. For the first nine months of the year, exports increased 1.9 percent while imports decreased 3.9 percent. The deficit for the year on an annual basis was $107.2 billion, compared with a $118.5 billion imbalance for all of 1988. Exports were led in September by a 72.8 percent improvement in aircraft exports. That, in turn, represented 82 percent of the improvement in the overall deficit.
